Finance leaders have made it clear: working capital optimization is the #1 priority in 2025. According to The Hackett Group’s annual Finance Key Issues Study, improving cash flow and liquidity now sits at the center of the CFO agenda.

Sustaining these improvements requires more than cost-cutting. It demands process change, skill development, and modern technology that can transform receivables management into a true growth lever.

The Hackett Group’s 2025 Working Capital Survey revealed a $600 billion opportunity in excess receivables, with an 18-day DSO gap separating top performers from the rest.

Join experts from The Hackett Group and Billtrust as they unpack the latest research and share practical strategies to help finance leaders close this performance gap.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • Key findings from The Hackett Group’s 2025 Working Capital Survey
  • How leading companies are turning receivables into a driver of liquidity and growth
  • Why AI-powered receivables management software is becoming essential for cash flow optimization
  • Practical steps CFOs can take to capture their share of the $600B opportunity
